The Best Films You Probably Haven't Seen

During his lifetime, van Gogh never sold a single painting; Herman Melville couldn’t make enough money as a writer to quit his day job; and now-classic films The Wizard of Oz, It’s a Wonderful Life,
and Vertigo
were all Oscar losers and box office flops during their initial runs—it took years for them to achieve classic status. In this course, we screen and discuss a variety of diverse and terrific movies you may have missed but are definitely worth seeing. Screenings include Don’t Think Twice, Fruitvale Station, Ace in the Hole, Hail the Conquering Hero,
and A Man Escaped.
